When Topology Meets Chemistry: A Topological Look at Molecular Chirality Hardcover - 2000

by Erica Flapan


From the publisher

In this superb topology text, the readers not only learn about knot theory, 3-dimensional manifolds, and the topology of embedded graphs, but also their role in understanding molecular structures. Most results described in the text are motivated by the questions of chemists or molecular biologists, though they often go beyond answering the original question asked. No specific mathematical or chemical prerequisites are required. The text is enhanced by nearly 200 illustrations and 100 exercises. With this fascinating book, undergraduate mathematics students escape the world of pure abstract theory and enter that of real molecules, while chemists and biologists find simple and clear but rigorous definitions of mathematical concepts they handle intuitively in their work.

First line

Stereochemistry is the study of the three-dimensional structure of molecules, and topology is the study of those properties of geometric objects that are invariant under continuous transformations.
